5 string voodoo neck - 5 piece using flame maple, wenge, or some other combination of woods for accent stripes, and other such things (resistance to warpage etc) I'm banking on the carbon fibre and the accent woods to counter act the potential instabilities of the flame neck.

as far as electronics, it'll have our own pickups (FD1's right now, possibly if this thing takes three years to build it'll have my favourite of whatever other Pup models sheldon cooks up.)

it's also going to have a set up RMC piezo's in the saddles, running into the aguilar 2 band preamp. (I absolutely love the musical quality of the OBP1)

anyways, we're starting it soon... I'll post pics as soon as we start!

I'm very excited... basically I'm thinking a St. Germaine bass on steroids. I'm already in love with it... (this bass is the reason that I'm moving out the other one... as much as I love it, I don't think I will be able to swap back and forth between 5 and 4... I find it very difficult...)

anyways, hope this is of some interest.
the anticipation is killing me!!!!!
